Dave recently spoke about his new guitar with Dean and the lastest on Megadeth's amp and effects rig in an interview with Hardrock Haven:
"We just introduced a brand new acoustic guitar and I thought if I'm gonna have an acoustic guitar I better be able to play it in a metal band. So I developed this guitar and I use it on several of our songs.
It's actually being delivered to me here tonight; it's called the "Mako" and is named after the shark. It's really solid, it's got very interesting sound-holes, it's got very unorthodox sound-holes and a very sharp single cutaway so it's very cool."
"What I used in the studio was the Marshall JVM 410H, on stage we use the EL-34 100/100 mono blocks for power and we use the Digitech DSP, but we're going to switch to Fractal. They have an amazing unit and I'm really, really impressed with it. It's very complex so for us to use all of the benefits of the machine we weren't able to employ it in our rigs yet, but we did in the studio and it was mind blowing."
